Ulcerative colitis
I am suffering from ulcerative colitis from over 3 years now. I am on Mesacol OD 1200mg (twice), Ivepred 4 mg (once, has been reduced from 8mg recently), Folitive (once), Pantocid (once), veenat (once) and neotrexate 15 mg (once a week). Please suggest if the treatment is fine. And is this problem curable. Every time I redue the steroids my bleeding increases
Dear miss
If this is confirmed and the thing comes under remission till then Ur current medications is reasonable.
Bcz UC is chronic u need some medication to keep it under control.
Steroids could be slowly weaned off once acute exacerbation subsides.
Best is to keep belief in treating medical team and follow-up regularly.
If UC is kept under control then most could lead a normal life.
